With years of experience as a celebrity fashion stylist, Lindsay Albanese has dressed some of the most famous people in the world - so it makes sense that she's picked up a fashion trick or two.

From 2002 to 2015, Albanese worked with major television networks to style celebrities ranging from Jimmy Kimmel to Kathy Griffin and stars of "The Bachelorette," she told Insider.

Now, Albanese runs her own fashion brand and often shares her style advice on her TikTok account. Her videos have been liked more than 10 million times at the time of writing.

Albanese spoke to Insider about the top three style hacks that she says make her life easier.

Place a sock over your steamer to prevent it from leaking

In a video that has been viewed over one million times since April 16, Albanese shared her hack for preventing a steamer from spitting water all over your nice clothes: Place a clean sock over it.

"When you steam, the sock catches the water, and it doesn't get on your clothes," Albanese says in the video.

Albanese told Insider that the "little tweak" to the process has made her life easier since it "prevents water spots from getting on your clothes."

Use a hair iron to press slightly wrinkled shirts

To get wrinkles out of your shirt, you don't necessarily need to heat up a full-size iron, as Albanese showed in this video from February 20.

To save time, Albanese uses a flat hair iron on her clothes, she told Insider.

"It's a great quick fix for little wrinkles," she said.

Albanese said you should make sure that the iron is "not scalding hot," and that all you need to do is run the iron along the edge of a shirt a few times to remove wrinkles.

This hack "has saved me a million times," she said.

Stack skirt hangers on top of each other to save closet space

Skirt hangers can take up quite a bit of space in the closet, but they don't need to, according to Albanese. The style expert demonstrated a space-saving hack for storing hangers in this video posted on November 21.

If there are holes at the top of your skirt hanger near the base of the hook, you can use the holes to link the hangers vertically, she says in the video.

Albanese learned this hack, which she said is known as the "waterfall effect," while working in small dressing rooms, she told Insider.

"It's actually really brilliant," she said. "So instead of stacking 10 hangers horizontally, you can vertically hang them depending on how tall your closet is."
